Latest Scam Trends

The Singapore Police Force observes a trend of phishing scams involving fake websites impersonating UOB Kay Hian. These scam sites, such as 'uobkhs.com', are designed to trick victims into revealing their personal and login information, often for investment or trading accounts.

How to recognise these scams:

• Check the URL carefully: Scammers create websites with URLs that are very similar to the official UOB Kay Hian website, often with slight misspellings or extra characters. Always verify the full URL in your browser's address bar.
• Be wary of unsolicited links: Exercise caution with links received via SMS, email, or social media that claim to be from UOB Kay Hian, especially if they prompt you to log in or update your details. Always access official websites by typing the URL directly into your browser.

If you suspect you have entered your details on a scam website:

• Immediately change your passwords for your UOB Kay Hian account and any other online accounts that share the same password.

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of investment scams that impersonate established brands, including PETROBRAS. These scams create fake investment opportunities, often promising high returns to trick individuals into parting with their money.

Here's how to recognise such scams:

The Singapore Police Force has observed a recent trend of investment scams using fake websites and impersonating financial entities, often using names similar to 'ADGM MONEY'. These fraudulent schemes promise quick and high returns on investments. We urge the public to be vigilant.

Here's how to recognise these scams:

• Unrealistic Promises: Scammers lure victims with promises of exceptionally high or guaranteed returns on investments, often claiming little to no risk. If an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is.
• Suspicious Websites: They direct victims to dubious websites (e.g., make-moneyeasily.net, gold-vip.icu) that appear professional but are fake. Always check the URL for unusual characters, misspellings, or unverified security certificates.

If you suspect you have fallen victim to such a scam:

1. Stop all communication and transactions immediately. Do not transfer any more money.
2. Report the incident to the police via the SPF hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit an online report at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.
3. Inform your bank immediately to halt any further transactions and seek advice.

Remember, legitimate investment opportunities do not pressure you into making quick decisions or promise returns that are too good to be true. Always exercise caution and verify any investment offers through official channels.

What to do if you encounter or are affected by such a scam:

What to do if you were affected:

If you suspect you have provided your personal or payment details to a fake hotel reservation site:

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of investment scams that use fake websites and links. These scams often promise unusually high returns and may impersonate or claim affiliations with reputable technology platforms, even using unfamiliar domains like 'goudann.top' to lure victims.

How to recognise this scam:

• Be cautious of unsolicited messages, ads, or social media posts promoting investment opportunities, especially if they promise exceptionally high returns or claim a connection to well-known tech platforms like GitHub, but direct you to external, unofficial links.
• Always scrutinise the website's address. Legitimate platforms will use their official domain (e.g., github.com), not suspicious or unfamiliar URLs such as goudann.top.

What to do if you encounter or are affected by this scam:

• Do not click on suspicious links or download any files from unverified sources.
• If you have provided personal details, banking information, or invested money, immediately change your passwords for all online accounts (especially banking and email) and notify your bank.
